Abstract

The dynamic characteristics of solar metric radio bursts with intermediate drifting patterns (fiber bursts) as they evolve at fixed frequency are examined. The data were recorded using the radio polarimeter of the Trieste Astronomical Observatory. The aim is to determine if the underlying process can be described as a deterministic chaos. Correlation dimensions and Hurst exponent are estimated showing deterministic chaotic system of low dimension.
